Cristen Giangarra

I don't know where to begin...This probably seems audacious to most and that's ok. But this last decade has been a battle on my mind, body, and spirit. Despite the molten layers I have shed time and time again, I have finally found myself truly in a place to *begin anew,* moving towards a peaceful, unpaved path...and once again, (or maybe the first time? honestly unsure) I am asking for your help.

My grief, my trauma, my recovery, my endurance, my perseverance has not been straightforward...I've regressed before I've progressed time after time, and I'm grateful for every part except for maybe the actual monetary toll. And yet, I'd still do it over.

Anyway, I created this list because...I know I'm loved, I know I'm deeply supported, and I know that when I've asked for help, I've received it...And I know that I am so fortunate to have such generous spirits around me. There are things that would just make my life a *smidge* easier as I move forward gracefully from this chapter (and a few fun things too), and if you're able to help me...Bless you. And if this isn't the way, I know you're helping me in a million other ways because you have already and will continue to do so...You've already made it this far into my novel ;)

I love you more than I could ever say. Thank you for endlessly believing in my beautiful tragedy of life.

With love and light and felines,

Cristen
